Anatomy of victory: The five reasons Trump won -- RT World News

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

76% : So it's not just that Harris was so bad, it's that Trump himself ran a near-perfect campaign.
76% : Trump's success among Latino men (immigrants or descendants of Latin American immigrants) is particularly notable: four years ago, Biden was well ahead of Trump in this category (66% vs. 32%); this year Harris took 52% and Trump 46%.
65% : In the 30-44 age group, Trump almost reached parity with Harris - 48% to 49% (in 2020 he won 43% here and the Democratic lead was 12%).
56% : These episodes were important not so much in themselves, but because each time Trump and his political technologists managed to use them to their maximum advantage.
53% : Finally, Trump made a clever choice of ruling mate.
50% : This time, the independent candidate Robert Kennedy, who gained big support relatively speaking, and the 'candidate without a party' Elon Musk, who embodied the voters' demand for something conceptually new instead of the eternal fight between 'elephants' and 'donkeys', endorsed Trump - and energetically at that.
48% : "The shock of some and the joy of others is compounded by the fact that Trump not only won all the key swing states, but also became the first Republican candidate in 20 years to win both the electoral and popular vote.
48% : Therefore, with the election of Trump, the eight-year saga of rebuilding the American state on new ideological principles is not coming to an end, but is entering a new phase.
44% : In 2020, Biden took a significant number of voters away from Trump in each of the three categories: even though as an 'elderly white man' himself, he was associated with the older generation.
40% : However, four years later, it's Trump himself who looks like the experienced candidate.
38% : Trump, who showed himself to be a more systematic player in this election than in 2016, is likely to act less provocatively but more decisively.
36% : But the confrontation between Trump and the so-called deep state is not over.
32% : In other categories, the increase in votes for Trump compared to 2020 is less substantial, but that doesn't make it any easier for the Democrats.
26% : Among 18-29 year olds, Trump won 43% (35% in 2020), while the Democrats lost 13% (they beat the Republicans by 24% in 2020, by 11% in 2024).
18% : Hence some utterly ridiculous new accusations of Russian interference (allegations that bomb threats to some polling stations on November 5 came from Russian domains), reminders of the unproven criminal cases against Trump, and fear-mongering about America's inevitable transformation from democracy to tyranny.
17% : Fourth, the force majeure events that occurred with enviable regularity in this campaign - hurricanes, assassination attempts on Trump, calling his supporters "garbage," etc., also played into the Republicans' hands.
